摘要: AbstractCharacterization of the error associated with quantitative precipitation estimates (QPEs) from spaceborne passive microwave (PMW) sensors is important for a variety applications ranging flood forecasting to climate monitoring. This study evaluates joint influence and surface characteristics on structure NASA’s Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) QPE product (2A12). TMI products are compared high-resolution reference obtained NOAA/NSSL ground radar–based Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) system. Surface were represented via classification dataset derived Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). assesses ability 2A12 detect, classify, quantify at its native resolution 2011 warm season (March–September) over southern continental United States. Decreased algorithm perform...
